| 1142031 | 2010-10-05 23:26:00 | I often wonder why people who have a portable phone don’t use it as a portable phone. Most people I have seen with a portable phone leave it on the charger. When the phone rings, they come from wherever they are in the house, to answer it. Seems to defeat the purpose. Might as well be a fixed phone. We have a portable phone which is in my pocket as move around the house. Very convenient. When the phone dies I put it on the charger, usually overnight, and carry it with me the next day. I’m certain that most people would not leave their cellphone on the charger all the time. That would be pointless! So why leave your portable on the charger? Equally pointless. |

Mostly, during the weekend it lives in the lounge, but Murphys law dictates that's when it will run out of power as well. :rolleyes: More often we hear it ringing, then have to look as to what its buried under, magazines, her knitting, or slipped down the side on the lazy boy- or should that be lazy girl :lol: |

| 1142033 | 2010-10-05 23:31:00 | Because a portable phone can go flat, if you leave it off the charger for too long. And if you keep recharging a cell, ( you dont wait for it to go flat), it can go flatter faster | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1142037 | 2010-10-06 00:08:00 | I think it is time you got a life if this upsets you. I don't believe I said that it upsets me. I just wonder why, if it is a portable phone, it is not used as such. Leaving it on the charger, except when it needs a charge, seems silly. It seems to defeat the purpose of the phone being portable. |

| 1142038 | 2010-10-06 00:14:00 | Well mine mobile is not ported about as it mainly lives in draws until almost flat. But I think for teenagers, particularly girls, as I see almost daily, they can't seem to make them not portable. They want to text talk so much on Facebook, Bebo, and others... | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||

Maybe most people you 'have seen' are aware that you sometimes have rather strict views of things around the house - so when you are coming they always put the phone back in what they see as 'the right place'. We have a portable phone which is in my pocket as move around the house. Very convenient. Isn't that a rather selfish approach to a household item that is by its design intended to be used by any in the home who needs it. Do you constantly have other occupants asking to use 'your' phone? Or does everyone in your house have their own cordless phone? Our cordless phone comes home to roost every evening on its perch, but during the day it alternates between rooms and its perch according to the choice of the two occupants of the house. Of course we have other 'portable' phones which could be used in the several rooms where there are phone jacks. Depends on definition of portable of course! |
